Current IssueFueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.
Inner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.

IPC/iNEMI Webinar on Circularity Challenges in Electronics Manufacturing
July 2, 2024 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC and iNEMI held a workshop with industry experts at the Electronics Goes Green conference in Berlin last month to discuss circularity challenges in electronics manufacturing. The workshop — "There’s no end to a circle: A workshop on how to address circularity challenges in electronics manufacturing" focused on scoping industry solutions to address pressing circularity challenges.
Join us for this webinar to learn more about workshop results and discuss next steps that will lead to work by iNEMI and IPC to assist industry with: Scope of Work statements for new industry standards, tools, and education Ideas for solutions to address the identified problems.
Next steps and additional workshop opportunities. Solutions driven by industry collaboration will help enable efficient and effective adoption of circularity through the electronics manufacturing value chain.
Presenters
Kelly Scanlon, IPC
Lead Sustainability Strategist
Mark Schaffer, iNEMI
Project Manager
Registration
This webinar is for people who attended the EGG workshop as well as those who could not attend but would like to join the conversation. We will be continuing — and building on — the discussion about solutions needed to enable circular economy principles in the electronics industry. The webinar is open to industry; advance registration is required (see link below). If you have any questions or need additional information please contact Mark Schaffer (marks@inemi.org)..
